Election Thoughts

Voters Guide

When there are two sides to choose from and one side is spitting at peaceful people, throwing eggs and rocks, waving the Mexican flag while they burn the American flag, and attacking people in wheel chairs -- pick the other side. It's a no-brainer.

I was in Mexico recently, having lunch with friends in Mexico City and they asked me about the election. I said that the average American who sees the people who wave the Mexican flag act like animals forms an opinion of Mexico from what they see.

Most of those Americans will never visit Mexico. I asked what my friends, who are Mexican would think if people flew the American flag during a Mexican election. They just smiled. If anyone did that in Mexico, they'd be put in a dungeon and their families would have to pay to feed them (that's the way it's done in Mexico - imprisoned Americans are fed by the US State Department).

It's obvious that the "protestors" are playing to the cameras because there are more newsies than there are protestors. The mainstream media reports on the protests, not on the peaceful, happy people at the rally...typical.

Hillary is pivoting again, changing her platform and her approach. She does it all the time in response to polling information because she stands for nothing except getting elected and looting the nation three ways from Sunday. Will she lose to Bernie in California, and will it matter to a woman destined for an orange jumpsuit (not really)? Biden will be the white knight riding into the Dem convention astride a unicorn, dancing on a rainbow. Biden's claim to fame during the past eight years was preventing Barack from being assassinated out of fear that he'd claim the Oval office by default through normal succession, if anything happened to his boss.

When people ask me what Slow Joe did in office, that's what I tell them. He was Barack's life insurance policy.

Barack often said that "Biden is the adult in the room." That statement terrifies me. But to his credit, I don't think that Slow Joe is a Muslim. So there is that.

Yep, the protests outside of Trump rallies are only helping Trump. The Loony Left News tries to spin it as some sort of natural reaction to Trump's bigotry, and they try to blame him when Mexicans and progs are rioting in the streets. At least if some of the videos get out on social media showing what miscreants the "protesters" are, we may have a chance at keeping socialists out of the White House.

Now if we could just figure out how to get them out of the country....

Thinking back to the Vietnam War protests fondly. Great opportunity to get laid. Two to three hours of protesting seemed to make the little fillies hot to trot. Wouldn't surprise me if that is still the case.

My participation in the protests as a vet? My position was, "Fight all out, or get the f#$k out". We didn't, as a nation, learn that lesson then and we are still trying to half ass our way through conflicts. The only ones not half assing it are the boots on the ground.

I toured Mexico when I was in my 20's and loved it and the people - in particular the small towns in the mountains. I don't speak Spanish, but being Italian I have the expressions and hand gestures that made it possible to communicate quite well.

These paid protesters are doing great harm to the image of real Mexicans. Shameful.

Hillary? She better watch out because if (when?) Trump is elected her ass is grass.

Most Mexicans living in the USA like the place. The rioters and freaks at the Trump rallies are Americans who like to stir things up and perform for the cameras. I expect that their conduct would be quite different if it was just them and the police - with no cameras...

Perhaps we need a concealed carry version of the patriot guard riders: legally armed US citizens who volunteer to provide armed escort for attendees between the gun free zone of the rally and the attendee’s parking locations. Wouldn’t be possible in some locations, but based on the noted crime reduction around the NRA convention, the mere suggestion might make these goons think twice.

I don't think that the rioters would want to deal with armed militia members. It would be extra nice if a friendly judge would grant those same militia members transactional immunity for the duration of their duties at the rallies...

Mob rule is becoming Democrat rule, or vice versa. We are witnessing the best mobs George Soros can buy. George Soros' hatred for all of mankind is clouding his common sense. He is chasing the undecided voters to Trump, because Trump has stated many times he wants to make it harder for these malcontents to enter this country.

As of January 1, 2017 this blog began to receive anonymous posts. I try not to delete them, but if you want to be taken seriously here, you need to identify yourself, if only by some sort of cryptonym.

Welcome to Virtual Mirage

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad, you're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad," asked Alice?

"You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Good Morning

Virtual Mirage - What's on the other side of the mirror? Ask Alice how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

This blog is an extension of MY JOURNEY because sometimes my journey needs more explanation, and sometimes there is more to be said than can be expressed on one ordinary blog.

Sometimes it's politics (very serious), sometimes I address the human condition with a dose of humor, and other times it may seem as if the track is headed in a unique direction. I can be a complicated guy at times.

There are a few things you'll find I consider:

* Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

* Sometimes the questions are complex but the answers are simple.

* Love is the only condition where the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

* Steers do not sign treaties with meat packers. (think on that)

* Taxes are NEVER levied for the benefit of the taxed.

* The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no victory possible in defense.

WHITE POWDER (Novel)

There is something intoxicating about a secret.

THE OLD WHORE (NOVEL)

In the peculiar culture of the Central Intelligence Agency, "old whores" are people who will do whatever it takes to get the job done, irrespective of the cost.

EXILES FROM EDEN (NOVEL)

Sparks fly as two star-crossed lovers meet. He runs toward trouble as she yearns for something missing. And it ends in a flight from and toward justice.

About Me

Today, I balance work and play as much as anyone can. All things remaining equal, play is more important. Life is short - it's important to make every day count for something, if only to yourself.
I'm a former tinker/tailor/soldier/sailor who has now decided that maybe it really wasn't all done for nothing.
